With Farve nothing would surprise me but he did say last year he had trouble keeping up hi level of play later in the season. I just think he now knows its time to retire but I'm sure with this move we will here some rumors.

I want to point out that it's a totally different dynamic to get ready for another year when you are coming off of Favre's 2007 than off of Favre's 2008. He may be fickle, but he's not delusional. He's only going to come back if the Vikings put heavy pressure on him to do so. I doubt he really wants to play right now.

PFT is reporting that Favre asked to be released TWICE - and most recently immediately after the Jets drafted Sanchez. I don't think Favre would do that if he didn't want to play. And you have to beleive that if Favre were available, SOMEONE would pick him up.

I certainly wouldnt want Favre under center here as we are not just a "QB away" from being a contender, but he could be appealing to the Vikings. I'm not too familiar with the Vikings QB situation, but they are a team that really only needs a QB. Jackson is doo-doo. Sage may be better, but not by much. An argument could be made that an effective Favre could put them over the top. personally, i think Favres body is done, even if his mind is not.

Many Skins fans scream about the OL. If I were a Vikes fan, I would be up in arms about their utter lack of ability to acquire a decent QB. It's a need which has stared them in the face for several years now. Why weren't the Vikes at the center of all of that Sanchez controversy?

His agent said he did it because he wants to retire as a Packer...we shall see

I can't believe that I was the only one to come up with that idea.

I think he would need a surgery before he could play again.

redskins1974 · 04-29-2009, 04:31 PM

if he was willing to return, i bet snyder and vinnie would be interested.

Doubtful, but Zorn would give an instant veto, anyway.

I agree Zorn would probably veto it, but then again does Danny really get vetoed by anyone??

Hey, who pulled the cliche string?

jsarno · 04-29-2009, 07:00 PM

Two schools of thought,
1- Learning a new system proved to be a bit much for him last year, although it wasn't until the end of the season that he had problems, and they were physical problems.
2- Physical problems. Never has Favre had shoulder problems until last year, there is no real story saying this problem has been solved, why come back now?

I love Favre, I am blessed to have watched him play during the prime of his career, and enjoyed watching him every time! I am in no way interested in seeing him play another season, OTHER than maybe with the Viks. That's a BIG maybe too. Just ride off into the sunset Brett, thanks for the memories.

Oh hell no. I don't even know why this is a question.
